He walked through the hall, he saw a familiar teenager. It was a girl, who had raven hair and black eyes. Her hair was down, but the some of it stack up. Her dark eyes widened, when she saw him. He recognized her she was the girl, he saw in some of the flash pictures in his head. She walked towards him. Shock was seen clearly in her face.

Why do I keep seeing her, He thought.  The girl was now standing next to him and staring into his eyes.

" Oh my God. Is it you Kai?" The girl asked. He looked at her, and was confused. Was he her brother? He didn't even know himself. What could he say?

Nothing. No words were traded, between the two. The girl left.

Why do they keep thinking that I'm this Kai person? He thought. All he knew about himself was that his name was Azreal Richter, the people at the hospital told him that. He had been seriously wounded, and woke up in the hospital, he was told that someone had taken him in, seeing his wounds. He also knew that he had past of fighting. He had a strong feeling that it was true, so he started to practice Jeet Kune Do, and had mastered the martial art pretty well.

Tatiana sat in her sofa. She was reading a comic book. She needed to relax. She had been studying very hard. And needed a break. The door opened. And someone, who Tatiana anticipated was her room mate entered the room. It was another teenager. She had short black hair, and auburn eyes. She wore a blue, sleeveless shirt with a turqoise jacket and a . The outfit looked like a s instead of a dress with jacket.

" Hello! Are you Tatiana Chang?" The girl asked. Tatiana nodded. She continued. " I'm Sachiko Shou, we're room mates."

" Oh." Tatiana waited, before she spoke. " So.... are you a fighter, Sachiko?"

" Yeah, I am. Don't call me Sachiko, I'm not used to it. My friends call me Saki," Sachiko explained.

" What fighting style do you use?" Tatiana asked, changing the subject.

" Kenpo mixed with Ninjutsu." Sachiko replied.

" Cool." Tatiana replied and continued to read.

Miranda sat in her room. She missed Brazil. Everything was so different. She especially missed her family and friends, alot. She remembered her parents being supportive over her decision to enter the tournament. Miranda couldn't keep wondering why her father had came home with a broken arm, after the fourth tounament, when he claimed that he hadn't fought. She thought that Kazuya Mishima had something to do with it.

Raven picked up her cellphone, as it rang. " Hey."

" Raven? Yeah. Have you killed Jin yet?" Ken replied on the end of the line.                     

" No, I haven't. I just wonder why you want him dead...." Raven asked. No sound was heard. Ken hung up.

Raven held the phone and thought to herself. He's hiding something from me..... But what could it be?

                                                                       ¤

Well, well.... Raven Wing, if you don't kill Jin Kazama, you'll be dead. Even if I have to do it myself,  Ken thought and laughed. He slammed the phone down on the receiver.

" Where were you?" Kazuya asked Sol, as he entered the house.

" Um, I went out with my friends." Sol said. He had visited his mother at the hospital.

" Are you telling me the truth? I have a feeling you're lying to me, but you wouldn't do that, would you?" Kazuya asked, with strange tone. The boy shook his head.

" Good." Kazuya said.

The next day, Jin was walking home. Jin looked up at the sky. The clear clouds were starting to fill up, with raindrops. The blue sky was getting darker and night time was comming. He heard a noise. It was his cellphone ringing. He picked it up and started to talk. His voise trailed of and his tone changed.

Lei Wulong raced through his office. He was having a horrible day. He had to investigate different cases involved with murder. Though the suicide rates had increased tremendously, many cases showed signs of homicide and had no clues whatsoever. This all gave him reason to worry. His sister's daughter, which he had promised to protect, was out there going up against one of the toughest criminals. He couldn't just stand there and watch anything happen to his niece.

" What is he doing here?" Paul asked Marshall, as he entered their room. Paul glared at Jack, who was seated comfortably watching TV and talking to Marshall.

" I invited Jack," Marshall said. Paul was quite angry, he looked at the picture of Paul fighting against Kuma. He was quite proud of winning over the bear.

" Jack, have you ever fought against a bear?" Paul asked, proudly.

" No, I haven't, but I've argued with Paul, which is close enough." Jack joked, and looked at Paul's angry expression. Marshall restrained Paul.

" I was just joking, you need to relax." Jack said, " Anyway, I haven't fought a bear, but I've fought against highly skilled fighters."

" And who might that be?!"

" Well, Willy Williams and-" Paul was already green with envy and interrupted.

" You've got to be kidding me, You don't mean Willy 'Bearhugger' Williams?, eh?!"

" He taught me how to fight." Jack explained.
